A new cohort of faculty researchers is representing how the university continues to grow its research ecosystem. RIT offers a robust suite of proposal-development workshops and seed-funding programs that help researchers generate preliminary results and strengthen future proposals.

RIT now offers a bachelor’s degree in artificial intelligence. The interdisciplinary undergraduate program blends core programming and algorithmic principles with the chance for specialized study in areas like agentic AI and robotics.

Computer science major Emma Schmitt took a required co-op seminar class to help prepare for the internship search and what do to on the job, helping her land co-ops at Honeywell/LenelS2 and Microsoft.

Muhammad Rafikov, a second-year computer science student, is heading to the Spring University-Wide Career Fair on the lookout for his second co-op. During this search, he plans to bring along everything he learned from his first internship last summer at Google.

Through Into the ROC, a program that introduced nearly 8,500 RIT community members to the region since 2016, students have explored, volunteered, and built lasting community ties.

RIT is teaming up with Gallaudet University to prepare the next generation of artificial intelligence researchers and practitioners who will develop AI for everyone.

From satellite debris to artificial intelligence, double major students find research success by combining expertise in computer science and economics.

Annalee Dorozynski, a fifth-year game design and development major, has created a VR recreation of the Music Performance Theater that audience members can use to locate their seat to see the view of the stage from that location.

RIT researchers are zeroing in on quantum photonics, the creation, control, and detection of light. Photonics has long been a specialty of the university. RIT led the team that developed the first quantum photonic wafer, which is key to the future of mass-produced quantum communication systems.

Backed by an award from the National Institutes of Health, Assistant Professor Stefan Schulze is using his expertise in the structure and function of proteins to work with a bacterial pathogen commonly associated with antibiotic resistance.
